1 tuff z Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) Good friend who races always tells me "anytime you need come over and use my; lift, tools, Longacre scales, etc." so I finally took him up on his offer. Last evening my son Alan and I went to his house [Alan was key as he is within 5 pounds of my weight and is perfect "driver ballast", 178 lbs last evening...] to set ride height and corner weights. Began by measuring the "rake", looking for about a 1/4" forward [for me anyway] measured where the front fender & leading edge of the door meet and where the rocker seam [near trailing edge of the door] is. Got that within 1/16" side to side & front to rear then onto the corner weights. Couple of his vehicles in the background, new Audi S4 on top, Z06 below. Missing from the picture is his Porsche GT2 and GMC dual cab long bed diesel tow monster which hauls his 1987 Porsche 911 race car inside the 38' new aluminum enclosed trailer. Z on the scales Below image is with no driver [didn't think to snap one with him in the z] With driver; Left / Right Front 730 / 708 Rear 772 / 733 Cross weight 50.30%!

johnc Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 OK, I forgot about the LS1 swap and the stereo. For some reason i thought it was a track only car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 tuff z Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 If just a track Z I'd really need to call her a track pig-way too overweight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Very good F/R weight distribution, LS* is the way to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
